Abstract

A mixed spin-1/2 and spin-1 Ising ferrimagnet with a layered honeycomb structure is studied within the framework of an effective-field theory with correlations. The effect of interlayer interactions and a single-ion anisotropy on the existence of the compensation temperature and tricritical point is investigated. In particular, it is pointed out that the tricritical point may be only possible if interlayer interactions are nonzero.
